-Your Endowment, p. 216

 "A religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has power sufficient enough to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation; for, from the first existence of man, the faith necessary unto the enjoyment of life and salvation never could be obtained without the sacrifice of all earthly things.

When a man has offered in sacrifice all that he has for the truth's sake, not even withholding is life, and believing before God that he has been called to make this sacrifice because he seeks to do his will, he does know, most assuredly that God does and will accept his sacrifice and offering, and that he has not, nor will not seek his face in vain. Under these circumstances, then, he can obtain the faith necessary for him to lay hold on eternal life."

I ordered the book "Visions of Glory" today. Michelle Tesarek talked about it when she was here for the youth devotional a few weeks ago and she said she was going to get the book for me. I just thought she probably forgot so I ordered it myself. 

This turned out to be a cold, snowy day. Trina was going to bring the girls up and Rowan and Darrel were going to come up later tonight. We checked road conditions and it said some closures. Trina also checked the webcam and it showed white out conditions. She decided not to come and I don't blame her. I must say that I am disappointed though.

James had a meeting with the Jimmy Applegate today. He needs either an architect or an engineer to redo his plans. James asked Vance Goodman, Pierce's son and he figured the cost would be $15,000. Jimmy said that was too much money so now James has to find someone else.

We made a trip to town today. We did our shopping at Walmart and picked up my thyroid prescription. I also paid tithing, two credit cards, and my Apple card. 

James put the sheets on the bed downstairs and upstairs making sure everything was ready for company. This is before we found out that no one was coming. Oh well, at least we are ready for next time.

We received new that both Joe Vaal and Barbara Sayer passed away. Joe's family will take care of his funeral. It will not be in our ward. Barbara Sayer's will be in the valley.
